James Thornton started his career as a public defender because he believed everyone deserves fierce representation. After 5 years defending the underdog, he founded Hartford Injury Law Group to fight for injured families.

“Insurance companies have armies of lawyers. Our clients deserve someone who fights just as hard for them.” That approach has recovered over $85 million for Hartford families.

James personally handles every case through trial preparation. His willingness to go to court — and his track record of winning — is why insurance companies take his cases seriously from day one.

After my car accident, James fought for every dollar I deserved. The insurance company tried to lowball me, but he held firm and got me 3x their initial offer. Couldn't recommend more.

I was hesitant to hire a lawyer after my slip and fall, but James made it easy. No upfront cost, clear communication the whole way, and a great result.

Common Questions

01

How much does a consultation cost?

+
Nothing. Your initial case evaluation is completely free with no obligation. We believe everyone deserves to understand their legal options.
02

Do I have to pay anything upfront?

+
No. We work on contingency, meaning you pay zero fees unless we recover compensation for you.
03

How long do personal injury cases take?

+
Most cases settle in 6-18 months. Complex cases or those going to trial may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your free consultation.
04

What if I was partially at fault?

+
Connecticut follows modified comparative negligence rules. You can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, as long as your share is under 51%.
05

Should I talk to the insurance company?

+
No. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize your claim. Let us handle all communications to protect your rights and maximize your recovery.
